Book by Stanley Oberst.

CDs Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen / Mastered by Lene Reidel.

Rockin' Across Texas is a travel document. The traveller is Elvis Presley and the territory travellet is Texas.

We meet the 19-year old Elvis Presley in the fall of 1954. Just turned full time professional, he embarks on his first trip to Texas and we follow his Lone Star adventures through to the last tours as superstar in 1977.

Stanley Oberst tells anecdotes of these Texas anecdotes through the eyes, lenses and microphones of those who were there.

Based on an incredible research effort, details of early and previously unknown shows have been uncovered.

Pictures, buried deep in shoe boxes in attics, have been brought to the light, and Iwo soundboard recordings of shows in Amarillo (1974) and Fort Worth (1976) have been restored and are included in the book on two full length CD's.

This book is twice the size of FTD's previous books (The Way It Was and Flashback) and, combined with two CDs of Elvis in concert, it is the biggest project by FTD so far.

It is primarily a reprint of the 2001 book Elvis In Texas by Stanley Oberst, but is now expanded to include more photographs.

Divided into three distinct sections, this is more of a novel than a photo book which investinagtes Elvis' travels through Texas from 1954 to 1977.
